Oh boy do we have some holiday inspiration to share with you today! Welcome to the Hero Arts Holiday Catalog Release and Blog Hop! Hold on tight, this is lots to share!
First, I have a video that I want to share with you on how to get more from your holiday stencils by simply changing a couple things.
VIDEO
You can view the video down below or HERE on my Youtube channel.
Here’s a look at the finished card.
By simply changing the orientation of the Zig Zag Tree stencil and switching up my colors, I created a whole new theme to the card!
Do you see the party banners?
I finished off the card with a sentiment from the Let’s Celebrate stamp set and a few sequins topped with White Pearls.
Here’s a look at the original card I created.
This is using it in the original orientation and Christmas colors (sort of lol).
Now for some more inspiration!
This card features the Winter Scenics Stamp set. It creates such a beautiful and serene scene.
I’m also using a sentiment from the Holiday Sparkles stamp set heat embossed in silver embossing powder.
Next we have the gorgeous Snowflake Corner Fancy Die that I cut twice to fill the card front.
I am using a sentiment from the Finch Greetings set once again heat embossing in silver embossing powder.
Check out this bundle HERE on the Hero Arts website using the Snowflake Corner Fancy Die and Snowflake Messages stamp set.
So excited to see Hero Arts is now coming out with hot foil plates!
This is the Snowflake Wreath Hot Foil plate and Holiday Words Fancy Die.
I also added a smaller sentiment using the new Hero Greetings Merry Christmas.
More stencils! yay! This is the Sweater Pattern stencil using a tone on tone look.
One more to share today is the Finch Greetings stamp set with the Snowflake Stencil.
You can check out the bundle HERE.

LOVE that ZigZag Trees Stencil, and you made such creative use of it! Thanks for pointing out how versatile that design is!

Dear M –
Great idea for stretching the stencil. I hope you are going to have a vid or two for us on how you made these other beauties. All of what you have posted is fabulous – I think I like the wreath (foiled) the best, but it’s hard to decide.

Mindy, I’ve always enjoyed your card techniques and the way you show us how to “think outside the box!” The Christmas Tree stencil was a great idea. I especially liked the softness of the red background of the bird on the tree branch.
